How to Clean Your Car to Reduce the Spread of the Coronavirus

...We suggest spending extra time on the steering wheel. According to carrentals.com, a steering wheel can have four times the amount of germs found on an average toilet seat. For this reason, we would suggest using disinfecting wipes to clean all the surfaces on the steering wheel.

What not to use
We would advise against using any type of bleach or hydrogen peroxide on the vehicle’s interior.
